I know this isn't the best community for this topic but Lemmy doesn't have anything more specific (yet). I want to know what's going on that I have this setting in FreshRSS:
And this behavior:
Something tells me it isn't a bug, just going over my head. I'm still new to selfhosting so it's not all clear to me how it works yet.
What's the problem exactly?
In the settings menu I have set the "maximum number of articles to keep" at 25, and yet my feeds have more than 25 articles in them.
Depends, take a look at the rest of your settings in the Archiving page.
You might have set "Never delete Unread Articles".
Also, that purge job is on a cron. I'm not sure how often it'll run. Could be once a week or even month. Thousands of rss articles and links are only a few megabytes big. But you can push the "purge now" button at the bottom of the archiving page to check your settings.
Nope I don't have that checked. I also marked all as read and ran a purge manually and it did not delete them.
Thanks for the responses I may just totally wipe then reinstall with my preferred settings and see if it takes this time.
